Having both you are able to attend our events, participate in Fadderiet (welcoming program), eligible for the SSSB housing queue and get student discounts on public transportation. However, for the last one you need to study at least at a 75% pace.
We as an association strive to ensure that our policies and statue are compliant. That’s why we have our Disciplinary Committee, which is responsible for disciplinary action on occasions when these are violated. If you have information that you would like to submit, anonymously, use our Whistleblow function.

Mecenat and SSSB related questions
You must first create an account on their website (https://sssb.se/en/). Make sure that your credentials (i.e email) are the same as on Mecenat and Ladok.
For your membership to be registered in SSSB, you must be a student.
If you are a student, you will be detected if you are registered in Ladok. Ladok is a student registration and grading documentation system used by Stockholm University. This registration in Ladok will take some time at the beginning of the semester and will probably happen at the beginning of August. Sadly, we do not influence this process.
SSSB has created the option to collect up to 90 days without being registered in Ladok for this transition period.
Important: If you decide to start collecting queue days before your registration in Ladok, try to make sure that your registration for courses on Ladok occur within the 90 days, otherwise you risk losing all your collected queue days.
